This repository documents research through design activities using creative/craft technologist practice as a thinking through making approach to explore open technologies in relation to wearable IoT as part of the Open Design of trusted Things - OpenDoTT project. The code and documentation of activities investigates potentials and possibilities of open technology for sketching and prototyping for wearable IoT, including material from an accompanying Open Technology Training.
The aim of the training and explorations is to gain experience with open technology in the scope of wearables in order to develop capacity to shape emerging best practices in relation to internet connected technology when it intersects with our bodies and sense of self. The insights will inform further prototype development and the role of open technology with the wider research project on the relationship of wearables and the self. Through a series of code sketches and partial prototypes the addresses research questions such as:
